Prognostic performance of ferritin in combination with CT-SS and NEWS, to predict ICU admission and mortality in COVID-19

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate how combining ferritin levels with established scoring systems improves outcome predictions in COVID-19 patients.
• Analyzed ferritin levels alongside CT-SS and NEWS scores
• Evaluated the predictive power for ICU admission and mortality
• Related findings to clinical decision-making processes
• Combined ferritin with CT-SS and NEWS significantly improves prognostic accuracy
• Integration can guide early interventions and reduce mortality
• Enhances resource utilization in critical care settings during COVID-19
